Nebraska isn't even in the top 50 for blocks per set... Their serving is good, but they rarely get aces. Not ranked in the top 50 for that either.. Nebraska defense keeps them in games. Bloxking and serving do not. How big of a factor do you think serving and blocking play in team defense? It is a factor, but you said when they're clicking, they're the best team in the nation at those three things, and thats a gross exaggeration. Sure their blocking is good, (never said it was bad), and it was great during the PSU match, but I can list teams who's block causes more teams fits off the top of my head. Serve as well. My apologies if I made it seem like I dont think they're good at said things, but best in the nation? No. Now their passing and digging do that.

Watching the match last night I liked how the camera panned the arena and showed the upper deck, side to side, and scoreboard during the intermission. Most televised matches do not go much higher than 10-15 rows up so you cannot get a good feel of the venue. That is an incredible volleyball facility and with 8k+ fans per match that is - a sea of red - home court advantage!

No. Now their passing and digging do that. while you clearly didnt say their blocking wasn't bad, I never suggested their weren't teams whose blocking causes more fits, I suggesteed their combination of serve, block and floor defense was probably the best in the country. That is of course my opinion. Feel free to list the teams you think are "stronger" in those combined areas of the game. Here is a good way to look at it, if you wanted to hold your opponent to a low attack/kill pct, the combination of serve/block/floor defense is how you would go about it, those three things are intertwined.

I was wondering if Michigan was looking past Iowa and concentrating their practices on Nebraska; what with the tough time they had with the Hawkeyes! Nebraska beware; and expect a battle Saturday night! GO HUSKERS

Nebraska beware; and expect a battle Saturday night! GO HUSKERS Zero chance. The Iowa game is the must win for teams. There may only be 2-3 teams who can put all their eggs into one basket on that trip in terms of preparation.

Their volleyball is really good, and I agree those elements of their game when they get in a rhythm are IMO better than any team in the country. However, offensively they are really volatile, and that is a huge concern. On the nights when they arent great in those areas (OSU) it will be very hard for them to beat great teams because they don't have the arms that can carry them. Three weeks ago it looked like a team that was going to be carried offensively by the lefts, now....... I think they are awfully good, but I also think they are missing that one player you need to get you over the hump on the nights you aren't executing. Nebraska isn't even in the top 50 for blocks per set... Their serving is good, but they rarely get aces. Not ranked in the top 50 for that either.. Nebraska defense keeps them in games. Bloxking and serving do not. You're aware that you can be a really good serving and blocking team without being ranked in the NCAA.com top 50 statistical categories, right? Or without actually scoring points via aces and stuff blocks, right?

It appears they are an amazing digging team even though they are serving lollipops and putting up no block.

This subject was brought up in a different thread and reminded me of the super job the B1G did on replays during their televised match. I don't know what they showed to the fans in attendance on the big screens, but on their telecast; they showed at least 4 different angles on contested calls, and they were able to slow motion the critical parts down. They got 2 non-call touches reversed, and got a touch overturned. Great Job!

Word. This Spartan squad needs to be in the top 25. MSU has 5 losses and one is to Miami (Ohio). They are not a top 25 team. MSU also faced injuries during those upset losses. As long as their players get recovered and make up the field of 64 at the end of the year, I'll be happy.

Wow. MSU just imploded there. Not quite, kind sir. An implosion occurs when a better team loses to itself and not necessarily to the other team, especially when that other team is unranked (see Aug. 28, 2015 and Sept. 9, 2015).

We just see slow-mo replays on the big screens and up on the jumbotron, shot from the cameramen along the sidelines and the overhead camera that's attached to the bottom of the jumbotron itself. Nothing like the black and white, high res, millisecond frames captured from the fixed cameras along the sidelines and the net in the int'l game, though.

Posted this on TV schedule topic, but thought I'd add it here also. Regarding BTN, can anybody explain why Nebraska is the line school that utilizes their own announcers? It is much like the Harkem Globetrotters playing against the Washington Generals every night. Does Russ Rose hand-pick his BTN crew in Happy Valley? Probably because it was shown on NET as well.
